VIP General Manager: Zoning, Community Protest Are Factors in Porn Shop Location Decisions


VIP (Very Intimate Pleasures) has giant sex shops in Hartford, New Haven/Orange and Manchester, and they’d like to expand. Sometimes they encounter resistance. Recently city officials and residents countered their plans for another Connecticut location (Berlin) with a new ordinance.

What factors does VIP general manager Rick Lederman weigh when searching for new sites?

“There’s a lot to consider,” he stated [to Adult Video News]. “Timing is everything, plus the location, the zoning, and who might give us guff and who might not. If it was up to me, I’d like to have one of these in every state.”
